It can't go on like this, agriculture has to cope with more and more ill-conceived regulations and poor political decisions. Many of these decisions not only cost a lot more working time, but also cause high costs that can hardly be passed on.
Here are a few examples from the last 2 years alone:
- Reduction of the tax rate for flat-rate businesses from 10.7% to 8.4%
- Abolition of profit smoothing
- Cancellation of the investment subsidy of €195 million for the rapid reorganisation of agriculture desired by society
- Reduction in subsidies for agricultural social insurance and the employers' liability insurance association
- Higher CO2 levy, which will rise to 19.8 cents per litre by 2026
- 4% set-aside of productive land, without compensation
- Tightening of the Odour Immission Directive (GIRL)
- Expansion of the material flow balance
- Tightening of the erosion control register
- Lack of investment support for conversion to greater animal welfare, without safeguarding higher operating costs
- Lack of tendering volumes for biogas
- Increased damage caused by wolves, beavers, etc. Still no solution to date
